NEEDLE EXCHANGE
Walker & Royce (BROOKLYN)
Years DJing: Gavin has been DJing for 18 years and Sam
has been DJing for 15 years. We have been DJing together as
Walker & Royce for six years
Genre: We make house music, which a lot of people refer to as
tech house. It’s very funky, dramatic and in your face. As DJs,
however, we often transcend genres during our sets.
Where you can catch us regularly: On the road. We came
up in the New York scene and use to DJ there constantly, but
we’ve been traveling so much as of recently. We’re all over
the place.
Craziest gig: Dirtybird Campout last year. It was one of the
best sets we’ve ever played, and people even made totems
based around “ITB,” an old track of ours, and signs they were
waving around in the crowd.
My go-to records: Recently, our track “Rub Anotha Dub” on
our new album with Green Velvet has been our go-to. It always
hypes the party up. Michael Meds’ “Jackin’ Drunk” has also
been a go-to for years. No one ever seems to know this song
yet, every time we play it people go crazy.
Don’t ever ask me to play…: Don’t ever ask us to play
Journey “Don’t Stop Believing.” We’re so sick of it.
